Wow you have been catching up! Interesting result with the root trainers for the brassicas. I suddenly discovered the root trainers in the back of the shed, so have some spare room for seeds ... !!

Fish finger sandwich, I can't  eat  anything  harder. I've been doing the Vat return and did the last bit today, submitted it to the accountants to enter,  Got it wrong the first time, but realised  it,  I've never got it wrong in 25 years....

See Bass here as well, with peas, coleslaw and a jkt spud 

Bad luck, that's a difficult one tbh.
Here in the UK I've always just planted them and left them to it, on various soil types. Are you covering the crown of the the plant, as that should be at/just above soil level?

Yes, planting is exactly as you say, crown is at soil level or slightly higher.

Sometimes squirrels digging in the beds do temporarily cover the crowns. I uncover when I see that.

Planting and leaving them to it was what I was going for with these 3 roots. I guess 2 out of 3 surviving isn't too bad.
